Episode 420. (1)

After Noshik returned to the imperial palace, as the Hwabu’s main body approached the capital of Gyehaegun, the Hwabu arranged for Gwanwu to take Jegalgeun to meet Zhuge Liang.

“older brother!”

Zhuge Liang, who was sitting on a high carriage and watching the castle, saw Zhuge Liang following Guan Yu, and jumped down at once and grabbed his brother’s hands.

“Ryang!”

“Fortunately, everything worked out so I can safely see my older brother.”

After Zhuge Liang broke the embrace, he greeted Guan Yu and looked at his older brother again.

“Things went well only from your point of view, but I feel frustrated about how to look at the faces of my family after entering that castle.”

Jegalgeun let out a slight sigh, and Zhugelyang nodded in understanding.

“Thankfully, however, Sun Ce surrendered. A white flag has been hung on the castle, so I think everything will be fine soon.”

“Yes, I hope so, but no matter how big a heart Godfather Hua is, can he keep the Duke of Zhou alive? Me and my family will live thanks to you, but I am worried about how to live with the pain.”

“As you know, my older brother, the Lord is a benevolent person. Unless Sun Ce is an idiot, he will not be unaware of the Duke of Zhou’s care. Above all, you can think that giving the opponent time to bury himself in the midst of a war like this means that he has no intention of killing Sun Ce.”

“Yes, I want to believe that too. However, from my point of view, it is true that it has become difficult to see denials or handbooks.”

“You have to accept that much. Above all, if my sister-in-law and nephews weren’t in that castle, that castle would have been in a sea of fire by now.”

“I know that you endured a lot because of me. I am really sorry and thank you.”

“How come the reunion between the brothers doesn’t look so fun?”

Suddenly, the fireman’s voice reached the ears of the two of them.

Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Kun looked a bit surprised and turned their heads, saw the fireman coming from afar and hurriedly bowed.

“Meet the governor.”

“It’s been a while. By the way, General Jegal seems to have told me to pacify Giju, so why did you lead your troops all the way down here?”

“The Duke of Zhou is at war, so how can I be the only one who is carrying out a comfortable mission in a comfortable place?”

“Didn’t you come down in a hurry because you were worried that your brother would die at my hands?”

“I assumed that if you were the principal, you would not harm my brother. By the way, I thought you sent the general and your older brother first, but how did you come with them? If I had known that the governor was coming with me, I would have met him in advance.”

“I came first because I wanted to say something to you and Geun-i when the other servants were gone.”

There were only a few demonstrators, including a vanguard, around the fireman, but there were no strategists like Gafu or Samaui or longevity like a piece of equipment.

Even Eulji, who could be the fireman’s closest aide, was nowhere to be seen.

Zhuge Liang noticed this belatedly and was slightly surprised.

“What do you want to say to me and my brother?”

“okay. Actually, you thought of your older brother and took care of Son Cheek’s circumstances a little, but Geun-i didn’t take care of my situation and made it very difficult for me.”

Jegal-geun’s face stiffened heavily at the painter’s words, and Zhuge Liang looked at the painter’s eyes.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly opened his mouth.

“The person who introduced you to Sun Ce was the Duke of Zhou, so why did your older brother make it difficult for the Duke of Zhou? He must have looked at this and that situation without knowing what to do.”

“Tsk, you’re saying that because you haven’t been through your brother’s tricks. If General Guan Yu hadn’t captured Geun Yi, he would probably still be plotting to kill me in that castle.”

“That Geun-i hyung is not a person who forgets grace easily. The reason why my brother fought against the Duke of Zhou must have been because of his sister-in-law and children in that castle.”

food.

For a moment, a small smile appeared on the corner of the painter’s lips.

As a painter, how can you not understand Zhuge Liang’s feelings and understand Zhuge’s circumstances?

However, it is true that Jegalgeun caused a lot of damage to himself in this war, so he was about to draw a line on this opportunity.

That’s why he deliberately dropped his servants and came first.

“Meet the fire godfather.”

Sun Ce lay flat on his face toward the fireman.

When Sun Ce did so, the scribes and generals who followed him and his family also fell flat on their faces.

Not only Son Ce, but also the scribes and generals had completely disarmed, and the guards had already inspected them to see if there were any hidden weapons.

“Books were a very good relationship with you, but when you see that the relationship has become so bad, it seems that the world has been very messy.”

The fireman was sitting on a high chair, with guards lined up around him, tacticians and generals to his left and right, and generals and soldiers to his back, surrounding Sun Ce and his party.

“It’s all because I forgot grace and was greedy.”

“no. How could that be just your greed? Neither I nor Jojo were too different from you.”

“I didn’t know my worth, so I forsook the great favor the painter godfather bestowed on me. It is a sin that deserves death, but my wife and children met my husband and father by mistake and followed them unknowingly, so please take my own life and be lenient to my family.”

“Good luck... Actually, I had a lot of trouble with this. Am I really qualified to forgive you or is it really right to help you? Even though I already owe you a lot, didn’t you turn me into an enemy? But should I give you another chance?”

thud.

For a moment, Sun Ce hit the floor with his head until his forehead was bleeding.

“It would be fine if I could become the servant of the godfather of the painter, so please open up a way for my family to survive.”

“If you become my servant, how anxious will you be to sleep properly?”

“How dare I think of harming Father Hua? Please be kind to me with great generosity.”

When Sun Ce hit his forehead again enough to make a thud sound, the painter looked over the crowd and opened his mouth.

“It is appropriate to kill the original, and the family should also stop the seed, but thinking of the friendship I had with the late Son Gyeon Tae-soo, I can’t bear to do so, so I will leave a small affection.”

The painter stopped talking and looked at Sun Ce’s family for a moment.

They were trembling and lying flat on their stomachs.

“Do you know how to read books?”

At the question of the fireman, Sun Ce shook his head with a puzzled expression.

“I do not know.”

“It is a small island that comes out about half a day by boat from Boryang-hyeon, Namhae, Gyoju. It’s not big, but it’s not small either.”

“Boryanghyeon knows.”

“I appoint you as the fugitive there. You must not come out of it until you die, and your children and their children will not be able to leave the island until after your death. If you promise this, I will guarantee the lives of you and your family.”

Sun Ce hurriedly bowed, fearing that the painter might change his words. Then, his family behind him also bowed.

“Thank you. Thank you for the kindness of Godfather Hwa.”

“Thank you for giving me the same grace as Hahae.”

“Don’t forget. This is the last affection I share with you. If your family comes out of the prayer... they will resent my hands for being cruel.”

“There will be no such thing.”

The painter smiled bitterly inwardly as he listened to Sun Ce’s answer.

I’m determined to do so now, but when time passes, I will try to come to the land somehow, and at least I will change my last name and become a family.

But just because that was expected, I didn’t want to kill all of them right away. There was nothing to be gained by doing so, and above all, I was reluctant.

“It may be frustrating to live on the island, but think of it as repenting for the sins you have committed against me and the people of Yangju for the rest of your life.”

After a while, the painter feared that he would not impose any special restrictions on Son Sang-hyang and his children belonging to Jegal-geun.

After punishing Sun Ce and his family, the general and the tacticians accepted them as subjects and removed Sun Ce’s power.

The fireman stayed in the capital of the county for three days, finished the rough arrangement, left the rest to Zhuge Liang, and returned to the imperial palace with only 500,000 soldiers.

Although Sun Ce surrendered and went into exile, there were still remnants left in Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, and governors who did not know that Sun Ce had surrendered, so Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu’s equipment had to remain and work to pacify the lords and jiaozhou.
